Psalmowo 32

1 David ƒe nufiameha. Woayra ame si wotsɔ eƒe dzidadawo kee, eye wotsyɔ nu eƒe nu vɔ̃wo dzi.

By David. A contemplative psalm. Blessed is he whose disobedience is forgiven, whose sin is covered.

2 Woayra ŋutsu si Aƒetɔ la meɖe vodada na o, eye alakpa mele eƒe gbɔgbɔ me o.

Blessed is the man to whom the LORD doesn’t impute iniquity, in whose spirit there is no deceit.

3 Esi mezi ɖoɖoe la, nye ŋeŋe atraɖii ŋkeke blibo la katã na nye ƒuwo nyunyɔ.

When I kept silence, my bones wasted away through my groaning all day long.

4 Elabena wò asi sẽ ɖe dzinye zã kple keli katã, eye ŋusẽ vɔ le ŋunye abe dzomeŋɔli ƒe dzoxɔxɔ mee mele ene. (Sela)

For day and night your hand was heavy on me. My strength was sapped in the heat of summer. (Selah)

5 Tete meɖe nye nu vɔ̃wo fia wò, eye nyemetsyɔ nu nye dzidadawo dzi o. Megblɔ be, “Maʋu nye dzidadawo me na Yehowa”, eye nètsɔ nye nu vɔ̃wo ƒe yomedzenuwo kem. (Sela)

I acknowledged my sin to you. I didn’t hide my iniquity. I said, I will confess my transgressions to the LORD, and you forgave the iniquity of my sin. (Selah)

6 Mawumemewo katã nedo gbe ɖa na wò zi ale si nèli kpli wo, elabena enye nyateƒe be ne tɔsisi gãwo ɖɔ la, womade wo gbɔ o.

For this, let everyone who is godly pray to you in a time when you may be found. Surely when the great waters overflow, they shall not reach to him.

7 Wòe nye nye bebeƒe, àɖem tso xaxa me, eye àtsɔ ɖeɖe ƒe aseyetsohawo aƒo xlãm. (Sela)

You are my hiding place. You will preserve me from trouble. You will surround me with songs of deliverance. (Selah)

8 Mafia nu wò, eye mafia mɔ si nàto la wò. Maxlɔ̃ nu wò, eye makpɔ tawò.

I will instruct you and teach you in the way which you shall go. I will counsel you with my eye on you.

9 Mèganɔ abe sɔ alo tedzisɔ siwo nunya mele tagbɔ na o la ene o, elabena ele be woade ka kple numega nu me na wo hafi amla wo, ne menye nenema o la, womate ŋu ate ɖe ŋuwò o.

Don’t be like the horse, or like the mule, which have no understanding, who are controlled by bit and bridle, or else they will not come near to you.

10 Ame vɔ̃ɖiwo kpea fu geɖe, ke Yehowa ƒe lɔlɔ̃ si meʋãna o la ƒoa xlã ame siwo ɖoa dzi ɖe eŋu la.

Many sorrows come to the wicked, but loving kindness shall surround him who trusts in the LORD.

11 Mikpɔ dzidzɔ, eye mitso aseye ɖe Yehowa ŋu, mi ame dzɔdzɔewo; midzi ha, mi ame siwo katã ƒe dzi le dzɔdzɔe!

Be glad in the LORD, and rejoice, you righteous! Shout for joy, all you who are upright in heart!
